Okay. I think we got the win.

But, 8 4th quarter turnovers. That's a concern.

I just don't see where CJ is going to get minutes.

Playing alongside Mo like Dame does. Give Dame a short rest here and there so he doesn't have to play 37 minutes a game. Play spot minutes for Wes too. Probably no more than 10 mpg assuming he's effective. That is what I would try to do.

I agree.

I think the problem is that he just doesn't have the ball in his hands as much this season. Stotts is really using him as a shooting guard. When he's in there with Batum, they basically share point guard duties. When he's in there with Williams, he's the de facto shooting guard. I really like that the team is winning, but if we're going to have any chance of becoming elite, it's going to have to be Lillard who makes the transition to superstar. I'm not sure Stotts is doing the best job developing Lillard.

Yeah, I tend to agree. He doesn't dominate the ball like he used to, and when his three isn't falling, he becomes much less effective.
 
Abby chin was the best one we had here. ANd man is she stunning!
 
Good win!

My main concern: those 9 turnovers in the 4th. Can't have that against the quality teams!
 
Can you guys believe we're 7-2? Wow, I'm amazed.

That's the thing, he's not dominating games with his overall play. His only scoring outbursts come from him launching a ton of threes. Hell, half of his attempts this season have been three pointers.

On the flipside, his turnovers have dropped dramatically because he's not handling the ball that much anymore.

He only rest Lillard for like 3 min at a time, so when he comes in at SG, it takes a lot of pressure off him and allows him a little extra breather. Plus, he's a better shooter than Mo from deep.
 
Now that's a road win. Even though the 4th quarter was sloppy, the game was in hand. The team is gelling.

This is the best overall mix of youth and veterans at key positions that we've had in years.

So what? Lillard should be handling the ball, he's our second best player. Stotts is being an idiot essentially using him as a spot up shooter. Mo can handle the ball when Damian is on the bench, let Mo be the shooting guard when both are in the game.
